December 23, 4:50 pm, Changzhou!
"Aso-kun, someone has reported you, saying that you framed your colleagues, causing the entire Honda brigade to be annihilated, and deserting the fighting soldiers to flee.
The command has sent you the sternest reprimand, asking you to explain this matter clearly, otherwise you won't even have to go to court-martial.
There is nothing I can do about this, because this is an order from the headquarters. well! "
Kameda, the supreme commander of the Changzhou garrison, led the military police to Taro Aso's residence and conveyed the order from the headquarters to him.
And obviously, Kameda usually has a good relationship with Taro Aso, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite.
But Taro Aso seemed to have expected it, and was not too surprised. After all, when he left, he had already discovered that the fighting Japanese soldiers were showing signs of retreat. However, what he did not expect was that these people did not catch up with his team but Went to Yangzhou.
Taro Aso was not stupid. When he learned that these people had gone to Yangzhou, he knew what they had planned.
But he didn't do anything. He just briefly explained the battle to Captain Kameda, and then returned to his residence to rest.
And sure enough, not long after he lay down, the headquarters issued an order to put him under house arrest and asked him to explain the battle in detail, especially the details of the annihilation of the Honda Brigade. Otherwise, if he couldn't explain it clearly, the meaning would be that he could commit hara-kiri to apologize.
Of course, if only a few junior officers and defeated soldiers complained, the headquarters would not be so angry.
Because don't forget, there is a Tiangu detachment leader who is furious in Yangzhou!
Captain Amaya detachment was originally worried about the annihilation of the Honda Brigade. When he heard that the imperial army in Changzhou wanted to accuse Taro Aso, he sent an order to the imperial army in Changzhou to come to see him and tell the whole truth. Otherwise, They were all punished as deserters and ordered to commit seppuku.
These defeated soldiers in Changzhou were originally here to accuse Taro Aso, so they naturally would not hold back, so they added fuel to the fire and Major General Amaya immediately became angry and sent a message to the headquarters in person.
Therefore, Kameda came with his people and placed Taro Aso under house arrest.
Taro Aso was as calm as ever, but Kameda said worriedly: "Aso-kun, you must pay attention to this accountability, otherwise I won't be able to help you."
Taro Aso smiled and said: "This time the interception failed, I must find someone to take the blame. I have no background, so it is perfect to be used to take the blame.
It's just a pity that I can't compete with Duanwu on the frontal battlefield. Otherwise, I will definitely let Duanwu understand the truth. The reason why he was so successful before was because he did not meet me on the frontal battlefield. Otherwise, I will definitely let him experience the power of our Imperial Japanese Army. "
Bang bang bang!
"Well said, hahaha!"
At this moment, there was a burst of applause.
Taro Aso, Kameda and the guards were surprised, because this was the most heavily guarded headquarters in Changzhou, but at this time, a stranger came in and applauded openly.
"Who are you?"
The guard pointed his gun at the visitor.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, a Japanese soldier wearing warrior armor came up and gave the guard a big mouthful, and then roared: "Bagayalu, this is the Prince of Beibai."
"Hi!"
When they heard that the other party was the prince, the Japanese soldiers quickly retreated and bowed to salute.
At the same time, Kitashirakawa Aoi walked out of the crowd with a smile.
However, why did Kitashirakawa wash appear in Changzhou?
It's simple, he came after the Dragon Boat Festival. However, he did not participate in the interception. Instead, he would go wherever the Dragon Boat Festival went.
Although the Japanese soldiers he recruited from the mainland have not yet arrived in China, they will follow them like a poisonous snake.
Moreover, he arrived in Changzhou for a purpose, because he wanted to meet someone, and that person was Taro Aso.
Taro Aso does not have an amazing background, and he does not have aristocratic blood. But he and Kitashirakawa Aoi once attended the same military academy, the Japanese Army Academy.
Of course, this may sound a bit unbelievable. As Kitashirakawa Aoi, attending the Japanese Army School, it sounds difficult to understand.
But there is indeed such a tradition in Japan. Many royal children are sent to ordinary schools to study to show the people that the royal family is close to the people, and it is also easy to collect some public opinion information and so on.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Kitashirakawa and Aso Taro know each other.
What's more, when he was in school, Aso Taro was also a younger brother of Kitashirakawa, and he often gave him some ideas for picking up girls.
So even though so many years have passed, Kitashirakawa Aoi has not forgotten Aso's talent.
Of course, the most important thing is that Aso Taro has no background and is very easy to control.
So when Kitashirakawa was passing through Changzhou, he came to see Taro Aso and invited him to join his plan to hunt the Dragon Boat Festival, but he didn't expect to hear such high-pitched talk.
"Your Excellency, why are you in Changzhou? Sorry, that's not what I meant, Your Excellency. What I meant is that my subordinates deserve to die because they didn't receive any news of the Prince's arrival and were unable to welcome him from a distance."
At this moment, Captain Kameda quickly stepped forward to apologize.
But Kitashirakawarai only waved his hand, because in Kitashirakawarai's eyes, such low-level officers were like weeds on the roadside. He was too lazy to interact with them, and he didn't even bother to say social words.
He walked around Kameda and stood in front of Taro Aso. Taro Aso quickly straightened his military uniform and bowed: "Kawarai-senpai, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to go to the front line in person."
Kitashirakawa smiled and waved his hand and said, "Aso-kun, don't be so reserved. You will always be my junior. I came here specifically to have a drink with you."
"You're welcome, Kawarai-senpai. Now that you're here, I should treat you to a drink. Please, I know a nice pub that's just right for a drink."
Aso Taro made a gesture of invitation, and Kitashirakawa Ainori smiled and said: "Then I won't be polite. You are still the same as before, never admitting defeat in front of others. You are also unwilling to owe others favors."
Taro Aso bowed again and said: "Senior Kawarai, I am afraid that I really owe you a favor this time. Someone is accusing me..."
Bei Baichuan waved his hands and said: "This is nothing!"
Speaking of this, Kitashirakawa turned around and glanced at Kameda and said, "Send a telegram to the headquarters. They must have made a mistake about Aso-kun. Do you understand?"
"Hi!"
Kameda bowed deeply. He did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest in front of this person! .....
